Grills are as good as its weak point. Protect the weak points esp the pad lock area and also the hinges. Padlock protection can use Nakamura N1/N5 or Keynox padlock protectors or other brand of equivalent function. Specify the width of the side bars such that the padlock protector have sufficient width to be mounted. If space allows, let grill open inwards towards the entrance.

Kitchen balcony access if easier to climb in, grill it up. Although some adept climbing it's needed, it's better to protect. The least is to cover that spot with CCTV or as a barrier to entry, the balcony door should use double key door knobs meaning locking is with key from both sides. Plus a few strategically placed dead bolts that can only be operated from the inside. Any rooms with windows into the balcony should be grilled up if the outer balcony is not. Not required if outer balcony have been grilled up.

Not on hand. One thing you can do is wander from house to house or condo unit to unit and if the workmanship and design strands out to you, ring the door bell and get to know the neighbour and tell them what you intend to do with yours and that you like their design and ask for the contact. Kills a lot of birds this way.

Never try never know. This is the old fashioned way to be neighbourly. Granted some may be sceptical but if they detect an honest intention I don't doubt for a second it's they'll reject your request. Try it la. No harm. Worst come to worst, skin just get thicker only. stick to grills first. Honestly, you just need a contact if the design is good.
